To type accent marks on a Mac computer, you can use the built-in keyboard shortcuts or the Character Viewer. Here are two methods you can try:

1. Keyboard Shortcuts:
- For acute accents (´): Press Option + E, then type the desired letter (e.g., á, é, í, ó, ú).
- For grave accents (`): Press Option + ` (the key beneath the Esc key), then type the desired letter (e.g., à, è, ì, ò, ù).
- For circumflex accents (^): Press Option + I, then type the desired letter (e.g., â, ê, î, ô, û).
- For umlaut or diaeresis accents (¨): Press Option + U, then type the desired letter (e.g., ä, ë, ï, ö, ü).
- For tilde accents (~): Press Option + N, then type the letter n (e.g., ñ).

2. Character Viewer:
- Click on the Apple menu at the top-left corner of your screen and select "System Preferences."
- In the System Preferences window, click on "Keyboard."
- In the Keyboard tab, check the box next to "Show keyboard and emoji viewers in the menu bar."
- Now, you'll see a new icon in your menu bar. Click on it and select "Show Emoji & Symbols."
- In the Character Viewer window, you can search and select specific accented characters by clicking on them. Then, click the "Insert" button to place it in your document.

These methods will allow you to type accent marks on your Mac to add accuracy and clarity to your writing.
